BASIC BANDSAW OPERATION - HORIZONTAL POSITION

1.WARNING!

Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles when operating the Bandsaw.

When operating the machine, keep the Bandsaw Blade enclosure closed.

Do not plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet until all necessary adjustments (as previously discussed in this manual) have been made.

Before cutting, turn on the Bandsaw and check for excessively loose Saw Blade (251) tension or machine vibration. If this is found, turn off the Bandsaw and correct the problem before using.

Always keep hands and fingers safely away from the cutting area.

3.Secure the workpiece in the Vise (9, 22) assembly. When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a large workpiece. (See Figure T, next page.)

4.If cutting several workpieces at the same length, you may wish to adjust the Stop Block (41) to the desired position. (See Figure T, next page.)

.Check to make sure the Motor Toggle Switch (750S4) and Coolant Pump Toggle Switch (750S2) are both in their “OFF” positions. (See Figure T, next page.)
